Terminator 2, a review by Tom![]() Title: Terminator 2: Judgment Day ![]() Year: 1991 Director: James Cameron Rating: FSK-16 Length: 147 Min. Video: Anamorphic Widescreen 2.35 Audio: German: Dolby Digital Surround EX, German: DTS ES (Matrixed), English: Dolby Digital Surround EX, Commentary: Dolby Digital Mono Subtitles: Commentary, English, German, Turkish Stars: Arnold Schwarzenegger Linda Hamilton Edward Furlong Robert Patrick Earl Boen Extras: Booklet Commentary Featurettes Interviews Photo Gallery Production Notes Scene Access THX certified Trailers My Thoughts: A great follow up. Revolutionary in special effects, even though they seem a little dated now.Though this time around I was bothered by the teenage John. He was annoying. Also the story-line, that he wants the Terminator to learn stupid stuff does not fit. Maybe this is because we can see a little more mature John in Sarah Connor Chronicles now.

Shunning Hollywood gloss and glamour, this frank tale is set against the backdrop of extreme conditions, and characterises neorealism's principal traits - natural lighting, handheld camerawork and a cast composed largely of non-actors. Due to the scarcities of war, scraps of film acquired from photographers had to be used, giving the film a uniquely gritty style. Now digitally restored, Rossellini's masterpiece appears as never before. Based on real events that took place in Nazi-occupied Italy in 1944, it examines the choices that people are forced to make in wartime. Centring on the Resistance and its members, this is a tragic and emotional exploration of human spirit and the effects of war. My Review: Cinematic history, slightly depressing content but with an underlying hopeful message. Probably to scholarly for my own tastes My Rating ![]() (From Around the World in 80 DVD's on January 11th, 2008) Tom's Buffy and Angel Marathon, a review by Tom12.

Giles feeling sorry for himself because he is being neglected by the gang. It's also fun how Riley learns about Buffy's daily slayage quota ![]() Rating: ![]() (From Tom's Buffy and Angel Marathon on August 31st, 2009) |
